Red Sails 1928

"Red Sails" is a 1928 painting by Arman Manookian, an Armenian artist who lived from 1904 to 1931. The painting depicts a tropical scene with figures in the foreground carrying fruit and a boat with a red sail in the background. The use of vibrant colors and simplified forms is characteristic of the Art Deco style, which was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Manookian's work often explored themes of exoticism and the beauty of nature, as seen in this painting. While the specific location of "Red Sails" is unknown, the scene likely draws inspiration from the tropics, reflecting the allure of faraway lands during the Art Deco period.
